We divide 31244786 by 721
We want to figure out the number of times 31244786 can be divided by 721.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 721, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 721

On to step 2:
The number 721 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 312 / 721

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 312 by 721, we get 0 and a remainder of 312.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 312 after subtracting 0 from 312.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 312, then carry on: 3124 / 721

Advancing to step 4:
721 can be fit into 3124 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 240.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 240 after subtracting 2884 from 3124.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 240, then carry on: 2404 / 721

Let's proceed to step 5:
2404 divided by 721 is 3 with a remainder of 241.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 2163 from 2404, we get 241.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 241 and repeat the process: 2417 / 721

Moving on to step 6:
2417 divided by 721 is 3 with a remainder of 254.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 433.0
Subtracting 2163 from 2417 leaves us with 254.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 254 and repeat the process: 2548 / 721

Advancing to step 7:
721 can be fit into 2548 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 385.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4333.0
Deduct 2163 from 2548 and we're left with 385.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 385 and continue: 3856 / 721

Step 8:
The number 721 fits into 3856 5 times, leaving a remainder of 251.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43335.0
Deduct 3605 from 3856 and we're left with 251.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
721 goes into 2510 3 times with a remainder of 347.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43335.3
If we take 2163 away from 2510, we end up with 347.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 3470 by 721, we get 4 and a remainder of 586.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43335.34
If we subtract 2884 from 3470, we get 586.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
721 goes into 5860 8 times with a remainder of 92.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43335.348
If we take 5768 away from 5860, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 920 by 721, we get 1 and a remainder of 199.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43335.3481
Deduct 721 from 920 and we're left with 199.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1990, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
721 goes into 1990 2 times with a remainder of 548.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 43335.34812
Deduct 1442 from 1990 and we're left with 548.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 5480 by 721, we get 7 with a remainder of 433.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43335.348127
Deduct 5047 from 5480 and we're left with 433.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
4330 divided by 721 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43335.3481276
Subtract 4326 from 4330 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
721 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43335.3481276
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 43335.3481276 with a remaining 4e-08.
